Re: What is wrong with a snokel I reckon they are great

Just commented on this on another thread.

Bottom line is that when you watch someone nearly drown because they
didn't have one, you too might become more predisposed to ignore all
of the "no snorkel" comments in rec.scuba.

Only time that I'd consider leaving a snorkel behind is if I'm doing a
cave dive. Although even then, it would depend on the dive site and
the dive plan, for the openwater ****tion of the dive.
